A Closer Look - The Cholas
From Uraiyur to Thanjavur
Vijayalaya, one of the Cholas from Uraiyur, captured the Kaveri delta which was under control of the Muttaraiyar (subordinate to the Pallava kings of Kanchipuram), in the middle of 9th century. He built the town of Thanjavur and a temple for goddess Nishumbhasudeni there.
His successors extended the empire and included the regions under the Pallavas and the Pandyas too.
Rajaraja Chola is considered the greatest Chola ruler and ascended the throne in 985 CE and reorganised the administration.
Rajaraja's son Rajendra I continued his father's policies and extended his empire up to the Ganga valley, Sri Lanka and south-east Asia.
